_b, CAUTIONS • The first ice and water may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank. • Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 20 pieces) and purge for 2 minutes that are dispensed after refrigerator installation. • This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a long time. • Never store beverage cans or other foods in the ice bank for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst. • If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the ice or water until the problem is corrected. • Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may play with or damage the controls. • The ice passage may also become blocked with frost if only crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates. • Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such glasses or containers may break, and glass fragments could be in the ice. • Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid. • Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator performance may be affected. • Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice from dispensing. • To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice door and passage. • Never remove the icemaker cover. • If you find ice or water dispensed unexpectedly, turn off the water supply and contact a Sears Service Center. Call 1-800-4-MY-HOME (24 hours a day, 365 days a year) and select the option to locate an authorized servicer. WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE ICEMAKER POWER SWITCH TO O (OFF) • When the water supply will be shut off for several hours. • When the ice storage bin is removed for more than a minute or two. • When the refrigerator will not be used for several days. NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF position. NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR • The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is in the I (on) position, it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to O (off). NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF position. NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on) position before the water line is connected can damage the icemaker. • You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills. PREPARING FOR VACATION Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator. NOTE: Ice Bin should be emptied anytime the icemaker on/off switch is turned to the OFF position. If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water supply system to prevent serious property damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines or connections. 29
